<h2 id="mapper">Mapping File Names</h2>
<p>Some tasks take source files and create target files. Depending on the task, it may be quite
obvious which name a target file will have (using <a href="../Tasks/javac.html">javac</a>, you know
there will be <samp>.class</samp> files for your <samp>.java</samp> files)&mdash;in other cases you
may want to specify the target files, either to help Apache Ant or to get an extra bit of
functionality.</p>
<p>While source files are usually specified as <a href="fileset.html">fileset</a>s, you don't
specify target files directly&mdash;instead, you tell Ant how to find the target file(s) for one
source file. An instance of <code class="code">org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileNameMapper</code> is
responsible for this. It constructs target file names based on rules that can be parameterized
with <var>from</var> and <var>to</var> attributes&mdash;the exact meaning of which is
implementation-dependent.</p>
<p>These instances are defined in <code>&lt;mapper&gt;</code> elements with the following
attributes:</p>
<table class="attr">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">Attribute</th>
    <th scope="col">Description</th>
    <th scope="col">Required</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>type</td>
    <td>specifies one of the built-in implementations.</td>
    <td rowspan="2">Exactly one of these</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>classname</td>
    <td class="left">specifies the implementation by class name.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>classpath</td>
    <td>the classpath to use when looking up
      <code>classname</code>.</td>
    <td>No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>classpathref</td>
    <td>the classpath to use, given as <a href="../using.html#references">reference</a> to a
      path defined elsewhere.</td>
    <td>No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>from</td>
    <td>the <code>from</code> attribute for the given implementation.</td>
    <td>Depends on implementation</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>to</td>
    <td>the <code>to</code> attribute for the given implementation.</td>
    <td>Depends on implementation</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p>Note that Ant will not automatically convert <q>/</q> or <q>\</q> characters in the <var>to</var>
and <var>from</var> attributes to the correct directory separator of your current platform.  If you
need to specify this separator, use <code>${file.separator}</code> instead.  For the regexp
mapper, <code>${file.separator}</code> will not work, as on Windows it is the <q>\</q> character,
and this is an escape character for regular expressions, one should use
the <code>handledirsep</code> attribute instead.
</p>
<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
<p>The classpath can be specified via a nested <code>&lt;classpath&gt;</code>, as well&mdash;that
is, a <a href="../using.html#path">path</a>-like structure.</p>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.7.0</em>, nested File Mappers can be supplied via
either <code>&lt;mapper&gt;</code> elements
or <a href="../Tasks/typedef.html"><code>&lt;typedef&gt;</code></a>'d implementations
of <code class="code">org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileNameMapper</code>.  If nested File Mappers are
specified by either means, the mapper will be implicitly configured as
a <a href="#composite-mapper">composite mapper</a>.</p>
<h3>The built-in mapper types</h3>
<p>All built-in mappers are case-sensitive.</p>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.7.0</em>, each of the built-in mapper implementation types is directly accessible
using a specific tagname. This makes it possible for filename mappers to support attributes in
addition to the generally available <var>to</var> and <var>from</var>.<br/>
The <code>&lt;mapper <var>type</var>|<var>classname</var>=&quot;...&quot;&gt;</code> usage form
remains valid for reasons of backward compatibility.</p>

<h4 id="regexp-mapper">regexp</h4>

<p>Both <var>to</var> and <var>from</var> are required and define regular expressions. If the source
file name (as a whole or in part) matches the <var>from</var> pattern, the target file name will be
constructed from the <var>to</var> pattern, using <code>\0</code> to <code>\9</code> as
back-references for the full match (<code>\0</code>) or the matches of the subexpressions in
parentheses.  The <var>to</var> pattern determines the <strong>whole</strong> file name, so if you
wanted to replace the extension of a file you should not use <code>from="\.old$" to=".new"</code>
but rather <code>from="(.*)\.old$" to="\1.new"</code> (or rather use a glob mapper in this
case).</p>

<p>Source files not matching the <var>from</var> pattern will be ignored.</p>

<p>Note that you need to escape a dollar-sign (<q>$</q>) with another dollar-sign in Ant.</p>

<p>The regexp mapper needs a supporting library and an implementation
of <code class="code">org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.RegexpMatcher</code> that hides the specifics
of the library. <em>Since Ant 1.8.0</em>, Java 1.4 or later is required, so the implementation based
on the <code class="code">java.util.regex</code> package is always be available.  You can still use
the now retired Jakarta ORO or Jakarta Regex instead if your provide the corresponding jar in
your <code>CLASSPATH</code>.</p>

<p>For information about using <a href="https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-regexp/"
target="_top">gnu.regexp</a> or <a href="https://github.com/kzn/regex4j/" target="_top">gnu.rex</a>
with Ant, see <a href="https://marc.info/?l=ant-dev&m=97550753813481&w=2" target="_top">this</a>
article. Please keep in mind that <a href="http://tusker.org/regex/regex_benchmark.html"
target="_top">your mileage may vary</a> with different regexp engines.</p>

<p>If you want to use one of the <a href="../install.html#librarydependencies">regular expression
libraries</a> other than <code>java.util.regex</code> you need to also use the
corresponding <samp>ant-[apache-oro, apache-regexp].jar</samp> from the Ant release you are using.
Make sure that both will be loaded from the same classpath, that is either put them into
your <code>CLASSPATH</code>, <samp>ANT_HOME/lib</samp> directory or a
nested <code>&lt;classpath&gt;</code> element of the mapper&mdash;you cannot
have <samp>ant-[apache-oro, apache-regexp].jar</samp> in <samp>ANT_HOME/lib</samp> and the library
in a nested <code>&lt;classpath&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>Ant will choose the regular expression library based on the following algorithm:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the system property <code>ant.regexp.matcherimpl</code> has been set, it is taken as the name
of the class implementing <code class="code">org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.RegexpMatcher</code>
that should be used.</li>
<li>If it has not been set, uses the JDK 1.4 classes.</li>
</ul>

<h4 id="composite-mapper">composite</h4>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.7.0</em></p>
<p>This mapper implementation can contain multiple nested mappers.  File mapping is performed by
passing the source filename to each nested <code>&lt;mapper&gt;</code> in turn, returning all
results.  The <var>to</var> and <var>from</var> attributes are ignored.</p>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.8.0</em>, the order of the mapped results is the same as the order of the nested
mappers; prior to Ant 1.8.0 the order has been undefined.</p>
<h5>Examples</h5>
<pre>
&lt;compositemapper&gt;
  &lt;identitymapper/&gt;
  &lt;packagemapper from="*.java" to="*"/&gt;

<h4 id="chained-mapper">chained</h4>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.7.0</em></p>
<p>This mapper implementation can contain multiple nested mappers.  File mapping is performed by
passing the source filename to the first nested mapper, its results to the second, and so on.  The
target filenames generated by the last nested mapper comprise the ultimate results of the mapping
operation.  The <var>to</var> and <var>from</var> attributes are ignored.</p>

<p>To use this mapper, the scripts need access to the source file, and the ability to return
multiple mappings. Here are the relevant beans and their methods. The script is called once for
every source file, with the list of mapped names reset after every invocation.</p>
